BACKGROUND 1. Field

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to logical block address (LBA) based RAID in storage devices having multiple storage components.

2. Description of the Related Art

SSD capacity has been steadily increasing since their introduction with modern drives having storage capacity ranging from Gigabytes to Terabytes. As SSD sizes have increased, the potential losses associated with data corruption and drive failure have become a larger issue. Traditionally, Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) has been utilized to provide increased data protection and/or increased storage performance. Common implementations of RAID include data striping across multiple drives (RAID 0), data mirroring (RAID 1), and striping with parity (RAID 5 and RAID 6). Some RAID systems are implemented using static physical page numbers (PPN) (e.g. physical NAND pages) for calculating parity. However, using PPNs in SSDs is inefficient. A more effective method of utilizing RAID in SSDs is therefore needed. Furthermore, while each of the current RAID implementations offers varying degrees of risk mitigation, implementing RAID requires multiple drives. In many applications, utilizing multiple drives is not an option. Thus, a data protection mechanism similar to RAID that is capable of being configured on a single drive is needed.

The above information is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of embodiments of the present disclosure, and therefore may contain information that does not form the prior art.

Rather, these embodiments are provided as examples so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the aspects and features of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, processes, elements, and techniques that are not necessary to those having ordinary skill in the art for a complete understanding of the aspects and features of the present invention may not be described. Unless otherwise noted, like reference numerals denote like elements throughout the attached drawings and the written description, and thus, descriptions thereof will not be repeated. In the drawings, the relative sizes of elements, layers, and regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments. It is apparent, however, that various embodiments may be practiced without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring various embodiments.

It will be understood that when an element, layer, region, or component is referred to as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, layer, region, or component, it can be directly on, connected to, or coupled to the other element, layer, region, or component, or one or more intervening elements, layers, regions, or components may be present. However, “directly connected/directly coupled” refers to one component directly connecting or coupling another component without an intermediate component. Meanwhile, other expressions describing relationships between components such as “between,” “immediately between” or “adjacent to” and “directly adjacent to” may be construed similarly. In addition, it will also be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being “between” two elements or layers, it can be the only element or layer between the two elements or layers, or one or more intervening elements or layers may also be present.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. As used herein, the singular forms “a” and “an” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “have,” “having,” “includes,” and “including,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

As used herein, the term “substantially,” “about,” “approximately,” and similar terms are used as terms of approximation and not as terms of degree, and are intended to account for the inherent deviations in measured or calculated values that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art. “About” or “approximately,” as used herein, is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” may mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value. Further, the use of “may” when describing embodiments of the present invention refers to “one or more embodiments of the present invention.” As used herein, the terms “use,” “using,” and “used” may be considered synonymous with the terms “utilize,” “utilizing,” and “utilized,” respectively. Also, the term “exemplary” is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

When a certain embodiment may be implemented differently, a specific process order may be performed differently from the described order. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially at the same time or performed in an order opposite to the described order.

Various embodiments are described herein with reference to sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of embodiments and/or intermediate structures. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected.

It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and/or the present specification, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless expressly so defined herein.

Embodiments of the present invention include a system and method for logical block address (LBA) RAID. In various embodiments, the system includes a solid state drive (SSD) system having multiple flash memory chips operating on multiple data channels. In some examples, the flash memory chips may be NAND memory chips. In various embodiments, the SSD may be configured for LBA-based RAID by striping the data across flash chips operating on different channels. In various embodiments, a parity may be added using additional chips on a different channel than the ones holding the data.

FIG. 1 depicts an example LBA-based RAID storage device in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, in various embodiments, the LBA RAID storage device utilizes a multiple memory component architecture to perform LBA-based RAID operations within the LBA RAID storage device. For example, in various embodiments, the LBA RAID storage device includes a storage controller 100 and a firmware 110 for controlling Input/Output (I/O) operations. The storage controller 100 receives I/O requests (e.g. a data) from a host (e.g. a host application) and processes them according to the RAID configuration stored on the firmware 110. In various embodiments, the LBA RAID storage device includes persistent storage 120 that includes a plurality of memory components. For example, the persistent storage 120 may include multiple data channels 130, 140, 150 and each data channel may include multiple memory chips 132-136, 142-146, 152-156. In various embodiments the memory chips may include any persistent memory chips. For example, the memory chips may include flash memory chips (e.g. NAND), 3D XPoint, etc. In various embodiments the controller 100 and firmware 110 may be configured to utilize different memory chips 132-136, 142-146, 152-156 operating on different data channels 130, 140, 150 to create a LBA RAID. For example, in various embodiments, the LBA RAID may stripe data across multiple chips and include parity bits on an additional chip. In another example, the LBA RAID may stripe data across multiple chips and utilizing two additional chips for parity bits. For example, the LBA RAID may be configured in a M data chips+1 parity (similar to RAID 5) or N data chips+2 parity (similar to RAID 6) where M and N are any number bigger than one. Striping data across multiple chips operating on different channels may provide improve drive performance. For example, data bottlenecks may be relieved since I/O from an array may be distributed across multiple channels in the SSD.

FIG. 2 depicts an example of memory chips and data busses in a LBA-based RAID storage device in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, in various embodiments, a LBA RAID storage device 200 may be configured to operate with a RAID system utilizing multiple flash memory chips. For example, the LBA RAID storage device 200 includes a plurality of flash memory chips 201-216. In various embodiments, each of the flash memory chips 201-216 may have a logical block address (LBA). In various embodiments, the plurality of flash memory chips 201-216 may operate on multiple data channels 217-220. For example, a first plurality of flash memory chips 201, 205, 209, and 213 may all operate on a first channel 217, a second plurality of flash memory chips 202, 206, 210, and 214 may all operate on a second channel 218, a third plurality of flash memory chips 203, 207, 211, and 215 may all operate on a third channel 219, and a fourth plurality of flash memory chips 204, 208, 212, and 216 may all operate on a fourth channel 220.

In various embodiments, flash memory chips may be grouped into RAID groups. For example, the solid state disk (SSD) 200 may include a first RAID array 230 having a first flash memory chip 201, a second flash memory chip 202, a third flash memory chip 203, and a fourth flash memory chip 204. Similarly, the SSD 200 may include a second RAID array 240 having a fifth flash memory chip 205, a sixth flash memory chip 206, a seventh flash memory chip 207, and an eighth flash memory chip 208. In various embodiments, each of the RAID arrays 230, 240 may be configured with a parity chip. In some examples, the parity bits may be stored on flash memory chips on a different channel. For example, in various embodiments, the flash chips 204, 208 (250) on the fourth channel 220 may all be used for storing parity bits.

In various embodiments, parity data may be calculated based on LBAs. For example, in various embodiments, the first flash memory chip 201 may have an LBA of 1, the second flash memory chip 202, may have an LBA of 2, and the third flash memory chip 203 may have an LBA of 3. The fourth flash memory chip 204 may be the parity value of LBA of 1 and LBA of 2 and LBA of 3. Parity bits may be calculated in any manner consistent with the type of parity being used (e.g. a single parity, a double parity, etc.) For example, in various embodiments, parity for a single parity system may be calculated by taking the exclusive OR (XOR) of the data stored in each of the LBAs in the RAID array (e.g. the parity bits are calculated on a LBA basis). For example, in the first RAID group 230, data may be striped (e.g. split between) across the first flash memory chip 201, the second flash memory chip 202, and the third flash memory chip 203 and parity bits may be calculated by taking the XOR of the data stored on first flash memory chip 201, the second flash memory chip 202, and the third flash memory chip 203, with the resulting parity bits being stored on the fourth flash memory chip 204 (e.g. data(LBA1) XOR data(LBA2) XOR data(LBA3)=parity data).

FIG. 3 depicts a method of storing data in an LBA RAID storage device in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 4 depicts an LBA-based RAID group operating on an LBA RAID storage device in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, in various embodiments, the LBA RAID storage device may include a RAID group (e.g. a RAID array) 400. In various embodiments, the RAID group 400 may be configured in a 3+1P scheme using a first flash memory chip 410, a second flash memory chip 420 and a third flash memory chip 430 for storing the data and a fourth flash memory chip 440 used for parity (e.g. in the configuration described above with reference to FIG. 2 where data is striped across 3 chips and a fourth chip is used as a parity). In various embodiments, each of the flash memory chips 410-440 may include a plurality of LBAs and performs RAID across the LBAs. For example, the LBA_i, LBAJ, LBA_k, and LBA_P may form a RAID array. In various embodiments, the NAND flash memory chips 410. 420, 430, 440 may be configured with 4KB physical pages. In some embodiments, data being written may be divided in to RAID element chunks that are multiples of LBA sizes. For example, each LBA may be 512 bytes. Thus, an element may be LBA-sized (512 bytes), 8 LBA-sized (4 KB), 16 LBA-sized (8KB), etc.

In various embodiments, the LBA RAID storage device receives a storage request to store a dataset from a host (e.g. an application) at the storage controller (S300). In various embodiments, the storage controller may utilize a LBA-PPN-Parity Table and a Parity Group Table to determine the appropriate location for storing the dataset and the associated parity pits (e.g. LBA_i, LBAJ, LBA_k, and LBA_P) (S310). For example, in various embodiments, the storage request is to store the dataset on LBA_i. The storage controller references the LBA-PPN-Parity table and determines the Parity Index for LBA_i is 1. The storage controller may then reference the Parity Table to determine the other LBAs associated with the RAID group and writes to the group. For example, the storage controller maps the split the received dataset such that the first 4kb of the dataset is written to LBA_i on the first chip 410, the second 4 kb of dataset may then be written to LBA_j on the second chip 420 and so on (S320). The controller may then calculate the parity bits for the written data (e.g. by performing an XOR function) and store the parity bits on the parity LBA_P (S330) (as defined in the Parity Table).

FIG. 5 depicts an example LBA-Physical Page Number (PPN)-Parity Table according to various embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 6 depicts an example Parity Table according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 the LBA RAID storage device may include a LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 and a Parity Table 600 for maintaining data locations, RAID arrays, and parity information. In various embodiments the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 and the Parity Table 600 may be stored in the storage device's firmware and updated by the storage controller. In various embodiments, the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 and Parity Table 600 are configured to define and map the various RAID arrays on the LBA RAID storage device. For example, the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 and the Parity Table 600 may define which LBAs form an array and the location of the parity data for each array.

In various embodiments, the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 is configured to map LBAs to PPNs and to a parity index. For example, in various embodiments, the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 includes an LBA index 510, an associated PPN 520, and an associated parity index 530.

In various embodiments, the Parity Table 600 is configured to define which LBAs are associated with which parity LBAs or PPN. For example, the Parity Table 600 includes a parity index 610 that maps to the parity index 530 from the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500. Associated with each parity index 610 is each LBA 620, 630, 640 with a Parity PPN 650. For example, as shown in , the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500, LBA_i, LBA_j, and LBA_k are each associated with the parity index 1. Thus, anytime the data on LBA_i, LBA_j, and LBA_k is modified, the parity P1 is also updated. For example, in various embodiments, when data is updated (e.g. data on at least one of the LBA's of an array is changed), the corresponding parity is also recalculated using an XOR function and the associated PPNs the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 and the Parity Table 600 (e.g. the PPN 520 and the Parity PPN 650) are also updated.

In various embodiments, data may be deleted from an LBA in the LBA RAID storage device. For example, in various embodiments, the LBA data may be removed from the parity by XORing the LBA data with the parity. The updated parity may then be stored to a new PPN . The previous PPN and parity index in the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 may be deleted. The LBA may then be removed from the Parity Table 600. In some cases, all of the LBAs may have been deleted from a raid array. In the case of all of the LBAs being deleted from one RAID array, the corresponding parity entry (e.g. all the entries associated with a parity index 610) may be deleted from the Parity Table 600.

In various embodiments, the LBA RAID storage device is configured for intra-chip level garbage collection and wear leveling. For example, when a valid data is copied to a new erase block during the garbage collection or wear leveling process, the new erase block may be allocated from the same flash memory chip. For example, LBA_i may be a valid entry of a garbage collection candidate erase block (or wear leveling block) in a flash memory chip x and thus the data in LBA_i needs to be copied to a new erase block. In various embodiments, the new erase block will be allocated in the same flash memory chip x. In these cases, the PPN 520 from the LBA-PPN-Parity Table 500 is updated and no update to the Parity Table 600 is needed (unless the data being moved is parity data).

Accordingly, the above described embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for LBA-based RAID storage devices. In various embodiments, the LBA RAID storage devices have multiple components such as NAND memory chips (e.g. Flash memory chips) that can be used to perform RAID within a SSD offering improvements in data protection and performance. In various embodiments, a LBA-PPN-Parity Table and Parity Group Table are used for mapping the locations of data and associated parity bits.
